“I know the sky's not the limit because there are footprints on the Moon – and I made some of them!” – Buzz Aldrin
As NASA explains:
“Humans are driven to explore the unknown, discover new worlds, push the boundaries of our scientific and technical limits, and then push further. The intangible desire to explore and challenge the boundaries of what we know and where we have been has provided benefits to our society for centuries … Through addressing the challenges related to human space exploration we expand technology, create new industries, and help to foster a peaceful connection with other nations. Curiosity and exploration are vital to the human spirit...”
This same pursuit and enterprise are what led to the inception, development, and evolution of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Humans have within them the need to push beyond limits to conceptualize and develop new systems and technologies, and new ways of exchanging and generating value.
Aether Universe is merging these two worlds – building a bridge between science and cryptocurrency by supporting great space and exploration ideas.
As the Head of Development of Aether explains their vision for the first crypto satellite in space:
“Our project is based on research, technology development, and the achievement of one of humankind's primary dreams – space exploration.
In 2022, we will develop and send a small satellite into orbit. The satellite will be called AETHER, and it will be used by other crypto projects that have their own blockchain, to run nodes.
For running nodes on Aether satellites or any complementary services, payments will be received only in ATH. Sixty percent of the payments will be allocated to further the development of Aether’s vision, and 40% will be burned to reduce the circulating supply.”
A Partnership for Exploration
In partnership with Arca Space, Aether helped with the testing and development of Arca Space's ecological propulsion system (Ecorocket). The Ecorocket is scheduled to launch in early 2022, and on this occasion, Arca Space will launch Aether cryptocurrency into space.
EcoRocket is a three-stage orbital vehicle, with its first two stages fully reusable. The first two stages use an environmentally friendly water-based propellant that will put the third stage at an altitude of 50km and a speed of 5,400km/h. The third stage, fueled by RP-1 and high-test peroxide, will then propel a payload of up to 10 kilograms into orbit.
Roadmap Horizon
Aether’s Phase 1 & 2 includes their partnership with technology and aerospace companies, the launch of social media channels and website, smart contract audit, pancakeswap launch, Coinmarketcap, Coingecko, and Blockfolio listing – all of which have been accomplished to date since their launch in the fall of 2021.
Future phases include an Aether-aerospace partnership to launch small satellites into space and the development and launch of Aether’s own satellite and mainnet. Different blockchains can join their ecosystem with the possibility to run satellite nodes on Aether satellite(s). In order to do so, validators will need to hold a certain number of AETHER tokens and of course, mainnet coins needed for the node.
Team Leadership
The team is composed of young professionals living in Germany and Romania. Their head developer is Peter Sabadac, who has extensive experience working with well-known global cyber security companies. His resume can be found here.
Sabadac shares his team’s commitment: “We have built our team on the values of transparency, honesty, trust, and total dedication to achieving the proposed goal of deploying satellites for blockchain nodes. Aether Universe will be the future of crypto.”
Tokenomics
The total supply is 1,000,000,000 ATH and the liquidity pool is locked for one year.
With every transaction, a 14% fee is allocated to promote the benefit of all. Three percent (3%) is redirected to the Aether project. Two and a half percent (2.5%) is redirected to the Aether buyback and burn wallet. Five percent (5%) is distributed to every holder, in Aether reflection tokens. Three and a half percent (3.5%) is redirected to the marketing and development team of Aether.
